More information |
| Initial consultation |
A prerequisite for all new accounts.
Includes a site visit, during which we measure the turf area,
evaluate the condition of turf and soil, take a soil sample (for
laboratory analysis), scout for pests and look at general aspects of
the location (exposure, sun/shade, and so on). We charge $75 for
this service and you receive two reports - an initial site report
and a follow-up report with soil test results and notes. For pest
evaluation only, we charge $50 (no soil test). |

We recommend a soil test (laboratory analysis) for all our customers. The results
usually don't change our basic program but can indicate important deficiences such
as pH, organic matter, magnesium and so on, that we
can then selectively correct.
Pruning

We are trained pruners, specializing in small
trees and ornamental shrubs. Using only recommended practices,
we prune shrubs and trees at the right time of year with the
correct tools and methods. You won't catch us giving your yews a crew cut.

Design
Services We can design
gardens from scratch or help you redesign just part of your garden. If you
are interested in creating a more environmentally sustainable garden, with
less maintenance, feeding, and watering required, we can propose suitable
plantings to accomplish this. Here are some examples of recent hardscaping
projects.

How We Do It
We are experienced gardeners.
To nourish your soil, we use 100%
slow-release organic fertilizers. To
control weeds, we use an organic product - corn gluten meal - that is so
safe, it's also used as animal feed! If
you have pest problems, we propose effective biological and organic
remedies. To tend your lawns, we use hand
trimmers and quiet, cordless electric
mowers. |
